    Correct Answer
    A. Solid fuel fires
    Explanation
    A water fire extinguisher should only be used on solid fuel fires because water is effective in cooling down and extinguishing fires caused by materials such as wood, paper, and textiles. However, it should not be used on liquid fuel fires or fires involving gas as water can spread the flames and cause the fire to become more dangerous. Additionally, water should not be used on fires involving electricity as it can conduct electricity and pose a risk of electrocution. Using a water fire extinguisher on any fire may not be effective or safe in all situations.
